Abstract | This paper examines the performance of the health indicators in Guyana during the period of economic reforms. With economic reforms implemented in 1988 there have been impressive rates of economic growth. As a result, the health indicators in Guyana improved, immunization rates increased substantially, and malnutrition rates declined. There is a direct correlation between health outcomes and the level of education. |
